The Arizona Cardinals have moved on from defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, releasing him on Saturday evening. He cleared waivers and now is a free agent.

While he has not yet signed anywhere, teams have begun to look into him. One team is the Miami Dolphins, according to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson.

Per source, Dolphins among teams that have made preliminary due diligence inquiry call on former Arizona first round DL Robert Nkemdiche, who was released this week and cleared waivers. Still recovering from Dec. torn ACL; expected to be ready in September.

Nkemdiche is coming off a torn ACL suffered in December. He could be ready to go as early as September. Of course, that could be pushed back, considering he showed up to training camp with the Cardinals out of shape. The official move to release Nkemdiche was with a failed physical designation.

Once he is healthy again, he surely will garner more attention, despite the issues he had with the Cardinals over three years.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson was one of three Cardinals to be named to the NFL All-Decade team in April, recognizing the best players from 2010-2019. As he made the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons, it makes sense.
